6 January 2009 - Today is the second day of schooling and the second post for my blog this year. Time flies when you did not notice it. Looking back at the years, I can't help but wonder how much have I grown, how much have I learnt, how much have I tried doing, how much have I done and how much have I achieved. Who am I today, I am a teenager struggling for survival in this cruel year of SPM like anyone else does. Welcome to 2009. This may be the last year of my schooling life in St. Michael's Institution. Yesterday was the first day of school. Despite the boring and non-spirited speech by Mr Phoon Chong Chee, he announced the school theme for the year 2009.

UPHOLDING

THE

GREAT MICHAELIAN ETHOS

.

We, Michaelians, Aspire To Establish A School Community Characterised By Integrity, Accountability and Mutual Respect. We Hold True To The Distinctive Brand Of The La Sallian Tradition Which Stands For High Personal And Academic Standards, Excellent Moral Tone And Discipline. These Are Achieved Through A Strong Spirit Of Faith, Zeal and Service To The Community.

.

At least the sentences above was the ONLY thing I have been concentrating on throughout the assembly and I have memorized it successfully. 'Thank you'Mr Phoon. Mentioning about 5sc4 - The same class I have been for one year now, it has transformed from a dull and unattractive crow to a striking and blazing phoenix, at least that was what I have been thinking. There are 2 reasons for me to mention that:

.

1) My class teacher has been changed from Puan Wan Norliza to Cik Siti Noraisyah. So....? Well, Puan Norliza has a liking to talk non-stop during Physics classes and most of the student were either fishing (sleeping) or becoming deaf temporary (doing their own work). Whose fault is it..? OURS! We are so unlucky to have her as our class teacher. Although she is a very nice person, but by the end of the day, results, flexibility and effectiveness come first. And let's hope that Cik Siti Noraisyah with a never-ending smile on her face will handle our class well.

.

2) Several subject teacher has been changed. Puan Nor Hamisah has taken over Mr Woon Fook Sim's job as the Add Maths teacher for my class. The first lesson from her was not that bad after all. Besides that, Puan Shaw Wanni has replaced Puan Azura as the class' Sejarah teacher. Since she taught me when I was form 3, I knew that she is a responsible and caring teacher who will educate the class well. Puan Wong Chin Fui has gone! She was my Moral teacher for almost half year in form 4. Famous for her boring-ness and known for her ineffective teaching skills, she was replaced by Mr Panir. Last but not least, Mr Chong, our discipline master has replaced my former class teacher for Physics. OMG! Is this a bad or good news? Let's hope that he won't skip our classes in the future because of some discipline case.

.

These 2 reasons are good enough for me to carry out my form 5 live peacefully, or at least I think so. Good luck and God bless in 2009. Thanks for reading, and do leave a comment.
